Caretta Caretta
Edit SpotAbout
Best beach break on the North Shore. A bigger board helps because of the lack of Mediterranean tides.
Atmosphere:
There is a nice friendly restaurant at the beachfront open all year. The owner is nice local and kite surfers frequent the area.
Additional Info:
when the charts light up this spot gets most of the swell. Cleansup in the AM.
